gro: reset vlan_tci on reuse
This one liner is part of upstream commit 3701e513 Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration. The bulk of that commit is a rework of the hardware assisted vlan tagging driver interface, and as such doesn't classify for -stable inclusion. The fix that is needed is a part of that commit but can work independently of the rest. This patch can avoid panics on the 2.6.32.y -stable kernels and is in the same spirit as mainline commits 66c46d74 gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse 6d152e23 gro: reset skb_iif on reuse which are already in -stable. For drivers using the vlan_gro_frags() interface, a packet with an invalid tci leads to GRO_DROP and napi_reuse_skb(). The skb has to be sanitized before being reused or we may send an skb with an invalid vlan_tci field up the stack where it is not expected.
